With the ever-reliable David Jason voicing the lead character, 'Count Duckula' was a popular animated series, populated by anthropomorphic bird characters, about an egotistical vegetarian vampire duck living in a castle that could teleport itself to wherever he wished.

A spin-off from precursor cartoon 'Dangermouse' and a parody of the legendary Count Dracula, this series followed the antics of the Count, his obtuse Nanny and his evil butler Igor, all the while being stalked by vampire hunter Doctor Van Goosewing.
